A breadcrumb uses a named navigation landmark, an ordered list, and aria-current to show the current page.

Program

Breadcrumbs are a short path back through the site. The markup should show the path order and mark the page the user is on now.

<nav aria-label="Breadcrumb">
  <ol>
    <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="/orders/">Orders</a></li>
    <li><a href="/orders/42" aria-current="page">Order 42</a></li>
  </ol>
</nav>
